March 1st. 11.00 a.m
Seoul university, 1st year law class
___________________________

The class was finally over and the students were leaving the room as Wooyoung was closing his laptop and standing calmly to pick up his bag-pack.

Three hours of law class was a hard start of day for most students but Wooyoung wasn't like all the other students. Named head of class every year since middle school, it was just logical that he would be as impressive at the university.

All the professors called him a genius, especially Miss Jung who was teaching the optional crime solving class. She was hoping he would want to become an international investigator at Interpol. But all Wooyoung wanted was to become an attorney, and help people.

His back was aching after being sat on the uncomfortable seats of the amphitheater for three hours, and it wasn't helping that Hongjoong suddenly grabbed him by the nape of the neck to scare him.

"Boo!" He screamed.

"You're so lame..." Wooyoung breathed wearily.

Unlike Wooyoung's very stylish clothes (a dark green pleated pants and a classic white shirt), Hongjoong's looked almost childish, and although his red hair suited him very well in Wooyoung's opinion, they looked ridiculous combined to these clothes.

He wasn't alone. Taehyung and Jimin were right behind him. The three of them looked as tired as the rest of the class. They weren't bad students but they would still rather be in bed than in a three-hour-long law class.

They all left the room together and were discussing what Wooyoung wanted to avoid as they walked through the campus.

"Tonight's the night!" Hongjoong said, excited before adding : "I can't wait to go! Our first college party! Finally, no more of those long, tiring, boring classes. Just a big party with loud music and all the alcohol and the girls we could wish for. The life we were waiting for..."

"The life you were waiting for." Wooyoung corrected.

"By 'we' I meant all of us except you."

"You're sure you don't want to come Wooyoung?" Taehyung asked.

"I don't understand why we have to go to this big party, we can have drinks at the bar like we're used to."

"Because the whole college will be here." Jimin said.

"Exactly... I don't want to be surrounded by all those people. Let's just have a drink together."

"Hey boys!" a voice called from behind them. They turned around as Jennie was walking up to them. She was wearing a beautiful light gray skirt and a matching blazer jacket that made her look like a business woman.

"Jen! How was yo–"Taehyung was interrupted by her lips kissing his, as she jumped in his arms.

"–class"

"It was fine." She said with a big smile on her face before kissing him again, as he placed his hands around her waist, tightening their embrace.

Jennie was a first year student as well but she studied medicine. She met Taehyung at the beginning of the year when Wooyoung introduced them, and since then they have been dating. Although at first they tried to be discreet about it, her cousin found out very quickly and it wasn't necessary for them to hide.

"Ah! Now that you're here Jennie! Convince your cousin to go to the party!" Hongjoong said.

"Why don't you wanna go?"

"I just don't feel like going... I'm not a big party guy I'd rather have a drink just the five of us."

"Excuse me? You're not a big party guy?" She retorted.
